After becoming the first starting quarterback in FBS history to win three games over top AP Top 15 teams in the month of September, Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant has worked his way onto the Maxwell Award Watch List.

Bryant is one of 13 players added to the list of candidates for the 81st annual award which is given to the National Player of the Year as selected by the Maxwell Football Club.

Bryant has completed 86 of 130 passes for 1059 yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions.

He is equally as dangerous on the ground as he leads the Tigers in rushing with 362 yards and seven touchdowns.
